Other chat thread titles may be suggested.

I feel like having an incredibly esoteric scientific-statement-title.

Suggestions?

    I'm not sure if the lighbulb in my room has burnt out, or if it's the circuitry. I mean, it seems more likely that it'd be the lightbulb, but usually lightbulbs don't intermittently refuse to turn on before finally going. I suppose it could be a CF bulb, though...

    That made me suddenly curious why when light bulbs blow out, it's accompanied by a blue flash. Internets for anybody who knows/can find the answer to this, I can't find anything. Even if the answer is just like "this is the chemical reaction takes place", that would be cool.

    Tell me, what's the price of a standard Big Mac meal where you people live?

    Here, it's 6 euros. That's 7,6 USD.

    Really though, I'm guessing it's just the filament breaking and sparking ND. I would imagine electricity just kinda shoots out for a second and is loose within the bulb.

    I was thinking the same thing, but then realized that without any air in the bulb (it being supposedly a vacuum), there oughtn't be any sparking...now you've got me curious...

    If I recall correctly, it's not actually air in the bulb, but some kind of gas.

    Actually, light bulbs have gas in them, just not oxygen. It's the arc between the two separating filaments that you see that causes the blue spark.

    Also, if the inside of the light bulb were a sufficient enough vacuum, the filament of the light bulb would turn directly from a solid to a gas and coat the inside of the lightbulb. This is called physical vapor deposition.

    Ah! So I guess the gas it what causes it to be blue, then? Kinda like how certain gases make electrical charges that pass through to be certain colors? [I'm pretty sure...like those little Van de Graaf generators, I think...and neon lights...at least, that's what I remember being told in the past]

    Dammit. I meant "gasses not typically found in a standard sample of household air", then. Now i'm going to look it up.

    [edit] Aha!

    "Normal" lightblub: "a gas such as argon and/or nitrogen."

    "A halogen lamp also uses a tungsten filament, but it is encased inside a much smaller quartz envelope. Because the envelope is so close to the filament, it would melt if it were made from glass. The gas inside the envelope is also different -- it consists of a gas from the halogen group. These gases have a very interesting property: They combine with tungsten vapor. If the temperature is high enough, the halogen gas will combine with tungsten atoms as they evaporate and redeposit them on the filament. This recycling process lets the filament last a lot longer. In addition, it is now possible to run the filament hotter, meaning you get more light per unit of energy. You still get a lot of heat, though; and because the quartz envelope is so close to the filament, it is extremely hot compared to a normal light bulb."

    Science!!

    Okay, so I didn't know about nitrogen being a part of the gas mixture in a "standard" bulb...I think I'd heard it was argon. Solly!

    How many mice does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Just two, but don't ask me how they got there.

    How many psychiatrists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Just one, but the bulb has to want to change.

    Well a boiled pot of water wouldn't have anything in it. A pot of water that is boiling would be something else.

    Now are you thinking about the water vapor in the air freezing? because of the increased surface area it might cool down and freeze faster.

    But if the water has been boiled, there's no telling what temperature it's at right now. I mean, if you had some ice cubes in the fridge, they may have come from water that has been boiled.
